Studio Electronics Omega8

The Omega8 is an excellent 8-voice true analog synthesizer. Classic
architecture with modern features it offers multi-filtering, arpeggiating,
multi-timbrality, MIDI, memory, and more all in a 4-space rack module.
With 32 knobs, 35 switches and a rotary encoder, most every parameter is within
hands-reach!

The Omega8 features 2 true analog oscillators (VCOs) and one sub-oscillator per voice.
Oscillator syncing and independent tuning is available just as on the classic
analogs. Then there are the two analog VCF 24dB and 12dB filters that really resemble
the sounds of Moog and Oberheim. Additional 303 and ARP 2600 filter circuits are
also available! Three LFO's with classic wave shapes can modulate a variety of parameters
among the oscillators, VCF and VCA sections. Three multi-stage VCA envelope generators
with classic ADSR type controls and more are also onboard.

A good arpeggiator belongs in any analog synth, and the Omega8 has that
too! It has tempo, direction, range, interval and MIDI sync controls for
a very modern implementation of this useful effect. And speaking of
useful effects, there is linear and exponential Glide (portamento) with
its own set of modern control and destination parameters. There are
plenty more real-time controllers and modulation sources that can be
assigned via MIDI, Midi sysex, etc. This makes the Omega8 a strong
contemporary to the Novation SuperNova, JP-8080 and Korg MS-2000 modules with one key difference
- the Omega8 is truly analog! It has been used by Hans Zimmer, Outkast, Dr. Dre, and E.L.O..

Also available is the more affordable Omega2. A 2-voice version of the
Omega8 with all the same key features and parameters.
